Hume was forced out of the action at Oakwell with a fractured skull after being caught in the side of the head by Morgan's elbow.

An FA spokesman told PA Sport: "There has been another development on this. Barnsley have told us they are sending additional evidence, video footage of the incident, which we expect to receive today."

He continued: "We will, of course, look at that before making any final decision."

Barnsley manager Simon Davey later claimed Hume's injuries had been life threatening.

Morgan was shown only a yellow card by referee Andy D'Urso for the offence and the FA initially confirmed they would not be punishing the former Barnsley defender further.

But Barnsley have since submitted further evidence, forcing the FA to reopen the case.

Hume, who also suffered internal bleeding, underwent emergency surgery in a Manchester hospital on Sunday night after his condition deteriorated.

The FA initially confirmed Morgan's challenge, although a red-card offence, could "not be described as exceptional".

Officials at Soho Square said they had "canvassed expert opinion in the game" and had concluded they would not intervene. But Barnsley want Morgan punished and have submitted further video footage in a bid to convince the game's ruling body to take action.
